Member Management in the DaVinci Resolve Project Server
It is possible to assign specific users to specific project libraries and adjust their roles. This gives extra granularity for security for complex projects with many users. Every network project library starts with the default user: postgres and password: DaVinci. This was until recently the only way to sign into the DaVinci Resolve Project Server remotely, but now you can add custom users and passwords as well. Members will be able to use their individual credentials to sign into network projects in the Project Manager.

Assigning Members to Specific Project Libraries

This lets you have multiple teams of people, working on multiple projects off the same Project Server, without the off chance that they accidentally delete another teams projects, or have access to sensitive material.
